Startling Percentage Of Computer Users Are 'Pirates'
Best Ever Celebrity Gadget Ads
What do Kevin Costner, Jack Black, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the cast of 'M*A*S*H' have in common? If you said Kevin Bacon ... well, you're probably right. But they've also all appeared in TV ads for technology products ranging from Atari and Nintendo to IBM and Compaq. Inspired by this recent roundup of current celebrity ad campaigns, we've dredged the very depths of YouTube in search of the all-time greatest celebrity tech ads, and here's what we found.Celeb: Kevin Costner
Year: 1983
Product: Apple LISA
Synopsis: 1983 was a rough year for Kevin Costner. First, his hopes for a big break were shattered when his part was completely edited out of one of the year's biggest films, 'The Big Chill.' Then, he appeared in this ad -- as an actor, mind you; not as Kevin Costner -- for the Apple LISA, one of the biggest flops in the history of personal computing. It's evident Costner had yet to perfect his craft. After all, look at the way he walks into his office -- is that the most unnatural gait you've ever seen? And look at the way he awkwardly holds the mouse! In his defense, though, how many people in 1983 knew how to use a computer mouse?

Oh my! I've been in love with that man since I saw him for the first time when I was 13. Seventeen years later, he's still the hottest guy around! He's SO GORGEOUS here!

There was a computer in that ad?
Hummmm....silly me, I was looking at Kevin Costner the whole time!

He was selling something? Was anyone even looking at anything other than the gorgeous Mr. Costner and his yummy heinie?

This is a fantastic commercial.
I, too, disagree with your review. Apple should run this again. Kevin could use the $.
Great ad.

For Ladysilkcc.......Actually, his first role in a movie was Chasing Dreams in '82. Also before The Big Chill in '82 were "Night Shift" and "Table for 5". Also in '83 was "Stacy's Knights" and God was he beautiful in that!

I remember reading an article years ago where he talks about doing that commercial. In the first take, when he answers the phone, he said something like, "yeah.....I can't get this d**m thing to work." I guess he got over himself enough to film the commercial.
